January 29, 2018

Today SaskTel announced plans to expand infiNETTM, Saskatchewan’s fastest fibre optics network, to Battleford and North Battleford. Construction will begin in the spring of 2018 with infiNET expected to be available in some neighbourhoods by early summer.

“Today’s announcement further demonstrates SaskTel’s commitment to the people of our province.” said Joe Hargrave, Minister Responsible for SaskTel. “As the leading communications provider in Saskatchewan, SaskTel has invested millions to ensure that we have access to world-class networks and services that greatly enhance the lives of people in our province.”

“infiNET is a game changer,” said Doug Burnett, SaskTel Acting President and CEO. “By bringing fibre right to our customers’ homes we’re able to provide them with speeds that are unmatched by any other network in Saskatchewan.”

infiNET is being deployed through SaskTel’s Fibre To The Premises (FTTP) program, a $670 million investment to bring fibre optics directly to homes and businesses by upgrading SaskTel’s broadband network across Saskatchewan’s nine largest cities. Beyond the immediate benefits of faster Internet speeds, this network enhancement will have added benefits down the road. As demands for more bandwidth and faster speeds increase, infiNET provides SaskTel with a flexible platform that can quickly grow to meet its customer’s needs.

In addition to Internet access, infiNET also offers HD programming and digital TV recording delivered to every maxTVTM set-top box in a home.

The FTTP program is part of SaskTel’s commitment to invest $1.4 billion across Saskatchewan through 2021. Investments like these will ensure that Saskatchewan will continue to receive some of the best communication and entertainment services in the world.
